Frequency License Exemptions

Regulations regarding radio frequency spectrum licence exemptions were incorporated into the main body of the Radio Regulations 2011 effective 1 April 2011.

Part III of the Radio Regulations deals with Radio Frequency Spectrum Licence Exemptions and the list of radio apparatus and related radio frequency spectrum for which a Radio Frequency Spectrum Licence is not required under section 31(6) of the Act is set out in Annexure B.

Users of radio apparatus and related radio frequency spectrum that is licence exempt are required to comply with the relevant operational rules that are stated in Annexure B to the Regulations.

The Radio Frequency Spectrum Licence Exemptions Regulations 2008 have not yet been amended to reflect the change in power output levels to the 5.8 GHz ISM band and the two documents should therefore be read together.
